Health Issues

Good evening everyone.
Sorry about this short notice, but I am being admitted to St John's Subiaco first thing Saturday morning.
The ticker isn't doing what it is supposed to be doing.
So if all the God's of all beliefs are lined up I shall return in approximately 10-15 days.

I'mmmmm back.
After my successful exit yesterday as an emergency hospital heart patient, and after several tests and X-rays etc, it is now a case of the cough and whatever I have been suffering with has been determined as influenza.
I was set up nicely in a private room in ICU all wired up with the heart monitor beeping away.
Then late today was told pack your bags and home you go.
The surgery is postponed for another week until then "flu is cleared from your system.
Came away with some potent anti-biotics that will hopefully do the job, and the thrice postponed surgery can then go ahead.

Got home this morning about 10am from getting a couple of things sorted prior to next Monday.
Smoke was starting to fill the valley at the back of us, and by Noon couldn't see the tree line about half a k away.
On the arvo news today Perth's smoke haze deemed to be the worst in the world health wise.
For me being super cautious, stayed ensconced inside all day.

Unfortunately, the merry-go-round of medical appointments will continue tomorrow. X-ray of the lungs again and an Echo scan of the heart has to be organised.
Today, wasn't the best of days with a prolonged effort on the bed, and the weather wasn't that favourable as well.
Hit 41c this afternoon.
Looking positively forward, thinking it can't get any worse than the past 3 weeks.

get better soon m8

It;s been awhile coming after 3 cancellations, but I'm about to leave to go to St Johns Subiaco.
I hope everyone has a good investment period over the next couple of weeks.
Cya's all when I return completely revitalised.

Hope your ticker op went ok and you arrive back revitalisd and in robofarmer mode.
It's quiet around here without your banter, and, or ear bashing!

So I hadn't seen this thread with farmerge. Heart surgery's no walk in the park - hadn't realised it was at that level. Much
Anyone - do what I mostly don't do: watch your blood pressure, try to control blood glucose, keep your vessels dilated with higher nitric oxide strategies (two of which are exercise and nitrate intake through leafy greens). And what I do do: attention to diet with a willingness to make changes, ditch alcohol, boost nitratate (leafy greens + a supplement?), take nattokinase and/or vit K2 (supposed to shunt calcium away from blood vessels and into bone).

 

[Knobby22]

Been a week since Farmer went in.
Hope its all going well.

 

[wayneL]

Yeah, been a week, hope everything went ok and let us know as soon as you are able.

"Normal recovery from heart surgery takes four to six weeks, but it can take up to three months for a full recovery. During this time, your arm and leg muscles will start to strengthen and you can slowly return to your usual activities.

While your breastbone is healing, you shouldn’t lift, push or pull anything heavy. Your nurse will show you the safest ways to lift and move your body, including rolling and sitting up in bed.

As well as the physical effects of a heart bypass on your body, it is normal to experience emotional and thinking difficulties for the first few weeks or months after surgery.

Many people say they have trouble concentrating and remembering things. You may find you have a poor appetite and changes in taste. It is also common to have strange dreams and changed sleeping habits during the recovery period.

Many people feel angry, upset, down or hopeless after heart surgery, and this is so common that it has a name, the cardiac blues. Usually, the cardiac blues gets better with time over the first two months."
